Garden Gnome Software

Hello, I have lost a long-standing client to a competitor and I am wondering which software he uses to create the tours. Here is an example tour:
https://www.sana.de/media/Kliniken/biberach/360/
The client was particularly impressed by two features:
- The control that you don't see any hotspots, you just enter the direction and there is a floating hotspot.
- The client can probably exchange hotspot texts himself via CMS and maintain the content of the tour.
Are these two options also available in Pano2VR? All in all, however, I don't think it can be ruled out that this is even Pano2VR. The morph transition is very similar...

Best, Heiko

Hi Heiko,
This is not Pano2VR, however, both things are available.
There was a webinar about, Client Maintainable Virtual Tours.
There is also another way to do this per text box. But if you have lots of point hotspots this may not be practical.

Concerning the navigation, you can use polygons and a floating cursor.
Again, we had a webinar about this, 3D Floating Cursor.
Regards,

Oh, many thanks. I will have a look at the webinars.

Hello, I watched the floating 3D curson webinar. And the optic is similar to the project (here is another example: https://digitale-touren.staatsgalerie.d ... anguage=en ). But the navigation logic is not that simple like in the example-tour that imitates Google streetview: with arrow up you simply jump to the next hotspot in the viewing direction. Is this also possible in Pano2VR? Or do you always have to select manually a hotspot?

Hi,
Have a look at this Component, it uses round floor hotspots that the cursor snaps too.
This will give the viewer an idea of where the active areas are.
In your example, selecting an area without any interaction just causes a slight zoom in and out effect.
So you dont know where they are.

However, if this is what you want then you can use Polygon Hotspots to draw larger clickable areas.
You then have the option to show a hand cursor or not.
Regards,

The problem with larger zoom areas (I have had the same idea) is the amount of work necessary. This would be a brute force method to build up to hundreds of polygons.
Much smarter is to have a function which does something like that automatically - as is the case in the samples (made from a well known software).

It would be (a) nice (idea) to implement such 'function'.
